Some one asked me to explain the reason I seperated the lists . Its because the multi subscription was some how causing an infinit loop problem with rootsweb servers. Its not a personal choice, I feel like every one who wanted them connected . I was getting 100's of error messages bouncing back to me, and some people who were repling were being bounced as not a subscriber , I have over 200 of those , lots of lost messages . Now the messages are cleaner and if you would subscribe to all lists you will not miss any of the conversation and it wont increase the message because every one will still be talking about the same things any way. Just add all the lists in your reply , this sends a message to each list in a single mode rather than the list trying to return every thing it gets back and forth . Do a subscription and then a *reply to all* to a message such as this and it will go to all lists just the same as before , but with an ending at the list rather than a loop back to the other lists . Try it . Its not that hard. Dan
